20 that time old newspapers and
books were worthless as stock to be
made over into new and fresh paper,
there being no metlioi then known
for extracting tire NIX Msed in printing.
In the Villages Of South Manchester
was a young man, Henry E. Rogers,
who was interested ia the paper bust
fsess. One day there came in,o his
possession u hymn book, compare
fiveiy new. which had bern saturated
in places with some sori of liquid, fho
effect Of which had been the complete
removal of the ink used il printing.
He examined it closely, wondering
what the substance could haye been
which had produced so Noticeable a
result. The thought suddenly smg-
gested itself that II he could ascertain
what tho liquid vas ii might BIZ
utilized in removing ink from news
papers and old books, making clPnn-
stock Tor use by paper manufacturers.
Wealth and success would attend
such n discovery, md the he
thought 0f it the more determined he
was II solve the mystery. With The
skill OF a detective he set.himsell 10
work 10 trace the hymn book back
20 the establishment, where the mishap
to it had occurred. The work was
Q long and arduous one, but was
prosecuted to the end with a perse-
verance that would have done credit
TO any enterprise III life. 1t was
found at last that the accident had
occurred in the publishers works at
Boston. Mr.. Rogers gained ndmis-
sion to the place at mn early hour u
morning in 1854, or, .IIereabou's,
finding only some apprentice boys N
the place. On looking at Textbook,
they told him there were q number
Of them there with the same defect.
But The crowning::discovery was The
very substance which had removed
the ink. He could scarcely suppress
his Joy at finding what he had been
on the detectives searchssfor during so
long a time. He was able, however,
not 10 bstray himself, and departed
from the place with a priceless secret.
Not long after that he began TO pur-
chase all the old newspapers and books
that could be found, receiving them
II, large quantities from New York
and Boston. Carrots and Easements
were ransacked for old books, and
hundreds Of tons with the overs torn
Oh were carted from the freight ware
houses in Hartford to South Manches-
lter, where they were transmitted into
fresh, clean, and salable paper. MIR.
Rogers guarded his discovery with
the utmost cure, Q iploying workmen
who were sworn not to divulge the
secret. He rapidly amsssed a for-
tune, which he spent with generous
hand in the town where he resided.
During the Ave or six years preceding
the war his business developed with
marvellous profits. His workmen
whom he had trusted were tempted,
however, by competitors to disclose
The discovery which he controlled.
Ora sually the was undermined.

that they did not fully understand 1t. where
upon the Governor decided to re-examine the
bill and having done 90, vetoed it. 1t IL now
claimed BY some friends of the bill that his
approval of it was the final act which gave 1t
the force of law and that his veto was too
late We think not. So long as the Gov

veto would be in order, if returned within
the Ave days provided ~ the constitution !:

that when q public act is approved by the
Governor the Secretary of State shall give
written notice thereof to the presiding Officers
of the Senate and House, describing it by its
title, and the date of its approval, which shall
be entered on the journal of each house;
This had not been done. The Governor had
the right TO re.examine the bill and to change
his mind if he saw reas on for it. and to with
draw his approval and veto it if done before
the statutory notifications by the Secretary OF
State to the presiding officers, and record
thereof made on the journals. The Argus
quotes Hon. j. H. Drummond as expressing
the opinion that the bill was not out of custody

Since the death of Hon. Eben F. Pilsbury
several papers have extolled him for his ami
able disposition, and his warm friendship for
those with whom he was intimate. These pa
pers assert that he was pursued by his oppo-
nents with a yindlctive spirit. That Mr..
Pillsbury was an amiable man who loved his
friends none are disposed to question. In re-
gard to the hostility displayed toward him,
no one but himself was re. p)nsible for it.
He edited paper which poured out torrents
ofpersonal abuse upon his opponents. Shield
ing himself behind the fact that it would be
impossible to be convicted for publishing a
libel, he assailed every man who voted the
republican ticket calling Lincoln, Grant and
other men dear to the republican party the
most offensive names. He could not exp ct
quarter from his opponents who were justified
in the treatment they accorded him.
few months prior to Mr. Pillsbury's
death he told a well-known gentleman in this
city, that the mistake of his life was his as
saults upon his political opponents. He said
he thought the people desired it, but they did
not.-Portiand Express.

There can be no doubt that Governor B,

There can be no doubt that Governor Bod
well of Maine acted wisely in vetoing bill
requiring every medical practitioner to re-
ceve a certificate from board appointed by
the State at the cost Of So, and penalty of
several hundred dollars il any physician neg
lected to comply with the requirement. The
bill was designed to suppress the irregular
practitioners, many of whom have a large
practice. and are held in a high esteem by
their patrons. 1t does not seem to be neces
sary fer the State to forbid any person from
having whom he desires for a physician.
Besides, board OF one school of regulars
might forbid the registration of another
school.-Boston Journal.

Carrabassetta and Canada Railroad.

Among the railroad charters granted
by the legislature at its last session, is one
for the "Carrabassett and Canada" rail.
road from North Arson by way of King
field and up the north branch of Dead
river to Canada line This is designed to
form a connecting link between the Cana
dian Pacific and the proposed Wiscasset
and Quebec railway. The distance from
Lake Megantic to North Arson by this
line, is about thirty miles less than by
way of Moose River. The distance from
Kingfield to Wiscasset by this line, and
the proposed route from Oakland down
tha Kenuebac Valley, is about forty miles
less than the distance from Kingteld to
Portland by way of Pennington. 1t would
seem therefore that il the Canadian Pacific
ever has an Independent line to an open
winter port on the coast of Maine, it must
90 ne by this route down the Kennebec
Valley to Wiscasset harbor. This new
line was suggested by Mr.. Atkinson of
North Arson, and his efforts in pressing
the matter upon the attention of the friends
of the Quebec and Wiscasset enterprise,
resulted in securing this charter.

The Case of Miss Folsom.
HER STATEMENT TO A REPORTER.

from the New York Star.
Through the kindness of Mr.. Allan a Star
representative called upon Miss Folsom, who
wishes at present to keep her residence from
the public She is blonde of attractive
manners, and wore tight fitting cloth basque,
with a dark blue skirt, which allowed a small
pair of feet to be seen. Miss Folsom had no
arrings, but silver bracelet encrcled her
left wrist, and an oxydized silver ornament
hung Suspended from hef girdle. The lady
appear pale and worried, but affirmed that
she did not court secrecy, and wanted every
one so know that she was abundantly able TO
take care of herself
"Do look like lunatic?" she asked, half
laughingly, and the one Intercepted could
saw with truth, "You certainly do not"
at is too silly for anything" she contn-
ued, "but have had trouble with nv parents
before, although not Of this kind. haven't
seen my father now in-oh, dear me, how
long! 1t must be two years. l look upon
this thing now as persecution. and while
have my ideas of what the motives are, will
not express them. don't want to say any
thing bad about my parents, although thew
have acted entirely regardless of my feelings.
All that desire to say to the public is that
am not restrained of my liberty and | am
free to do as | choose. Why, have been
out alone nearly every day during the past
winter"
"Do you expect to go on the stage again p

"Did you leave the Casino in September
last from a distaste for the theatre p
"No; never would have left there only
they wanted me to travel, and wanted to re-
main in New York
"Dr. Cate, then, had nothing to do with
your leaving there ?"
"Notning whatever"
GA I'D he had nothing to do with your re-
turn from Boston p
Certainly not"
"Had you any knowledge that these pro-
ceedngs were to be instituted ?"
'.No indeed. / didn't think that my father
would court publicity in this way; but he is
a peculiar man. You can never know how
he feels or what he thinking about"
This was about all that Miss Folsom would
say, except that she was not married. and
would possibly be in court to-day.
William j. Baldwin, the young coal dealer
of Brooklyn, whose name has been men
toned as sutton for Miss Folsom's hand,
was seen at his office, No. 696 Bedford
avenue, YESTERDAY. He is a handsome man,
about 80 years old, with blonde mustache, a
sort of Van Dyke beard and clear blue eyes.
He was much chagrined when he heard that
Miss Folsom's infatuaton tor DR.. Cate had
become public. He evidently has deep re-
gard for the lady and seemed panied that any
thing should be published about her. He
declined, however, to saw anything concern
ing his personal relations wi the lady, save
that he had not seen her for seven or eight
months, but was on the best of terms with the
family. OF DR. Cate he speaks in the mos
whitening terms.

Car Heating.

There is no evil without some good.
The railroad holocausts the past winter
have aroused railroad managers and the
public to the necessity of providing other
means than stoves for he iting cars, aud
substitute will be provided. The Maine
Central management has already decided
that stoves shall be used no longer in the
oars of the company, and provided sub
stitute which, after trial. it Is thought
will meet all the requirements for comfort
aud safety. The Railroad Commissioners
of New York have also Investigated the
matter and embodied their views and con.
illusions in report to the legislature.
The Commissioners have satisfied them
selves-or a majority of them have done
so-,hat the stove and the oil-lamp must
be abandoned. in the first place; and, in
the second place. that heating the cars by
steam from the engine or from special
cars is to be the method of the future,
while electricity will as surely take the
place of the old fashioned illuminants.
The details of warming long trains by
steam from the engine have not yet been
practically worked out, but for short trains
the complete feasibility of the process is
already demonstrated. There is no doubt
that the problem of heating cars with
safety has been solved. and that we have
had. let US hope, the last of the heart
rending catastrophes which the new
methods are intended to prevent.

Carter Harrison, after persisting for
Two years that he would never again run
tor mayor of Chicago, has consented to
become for fifth time the democratic
nominee for that position. He has been
elected four times by ballot-box stuffing,
forged tally sheets and the aid of the
gamblers, but as the laws have been
changed and the elections placed under
strict regulations he will not have this
year the assistance of these means. In
1883 his majority was about 10000, but
two years ago he scored reelection by
only 800 majority. His only hope of sue
cess this spring rests upon his ability to
obtain the labor vote. That party, how
ever. has a candidate of its own in the
field, and unless he withdraws Mr.,
Harrison's chances appear to be slim.
